I wouldn't be surprised if 1979 was the last batch of light diaphragms partially based on these date codes. I guess you sometimes have to fill in the blanks with observations like these as much of this stuff was not documented by Altec at the time (or if it was, the documentation is hard to find/hasn't survived the years)....
    I'll yard the 19's apart his weekend and see what they are. I may be a total liar, I'm not sure now.

    Ok, I'm a liar.
